Josephine was taken aback. She didn't understand a word of the content, but she could read the title of the agreement. It read, "Equity Transfer Agreement."Puzzled, she looked at Lewis inquiringly.Derek asked, "Lewis, what do you mean by that? Are you handing over Moss Corporation to a …"He didn'
"Congratulations," said Derek blandly with a faint hint of scorn.Lewis said, "Congratulations to you too. You can retire earlier and enjoy your life now."Derek's face changed. He glared at Lewis coldly and left.He had lost his wife and son, and now he lost his company too. How could Lewis say tha
Lewis stopped in his tracks before shooting Conrad a sideways glance."Seem?"Conrad looked a little surprised. "Um, that's what he said over the phone.""You should think before you speak, Conrad. Report back to me once you find out what actually happened."The assistant wiped the sweat off his bro
If Quintin didn't do anything to avenge Jack, how could he ever face him again?Divorce was definitely not on Quintin's to-do list, that was for sure.Conrad frowned in response. His tone took on a hostile edge at that moment. "Does that mean you're officially planning to become Chairman Alvarez's e
Josephine's fingers twitched slightly as pain flared from her palms.Lewis lowered his head, leaning in dangerously close. His hot breath brushed against her face as he demanded, "Who did you learn it from?"The young woman frowned slightly, not understanding what sort of question that was.Lewis di
"I thought you liked it a lot here and didn't want to go home at all."Stunned by Seth's response, Josephine quickly shook her head in response.The former wanted to continue speaking when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. Both he and Josephine turned around to see Lewis descending the stairs.
Lewis' voice was deep and magnetic. Josephine could feel his breath on her ear, making them itch.Lowering her head, Josephine stared at the patterns on his sweater while her heart raced.Then, she heard Lewis say, "Are you starting to disobey me because you fell ill?"Josephine was slightly stunned
Annoyed, Sierra said, "The news is all over the internet. How can I not know about it? Don't tell me you still don't know."Seth paused briefly. He was actually clueless because he never paid attention to entertainment news.Sierra unlocked her phone and casually showed him the trending news. "Here,
"Daddy …" Serena murmured the two syllables. Then, she beamed brilliantly and repeated the word with more conviction. "Daddy!""Dada!" Elliot called out, too.Lewis smiled and reached out to pet Serena's head. "That's my little girl. Are you upset that I haven't come home all this time?"Serena shoo
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lewis asked.Josephine snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "I didn't think—""Didn't think what? Your parents are my parents. It's only fair that I give a proper gesture to my parents. What's so shocking about that?"Josephine had never heard him say su
"Well, we should visit your parents first—show them their grandkids. Plus, I don't think we need to return to Elysium anymore. We'll bring Serena over once we settle down. Let's stay here for a while," Lewis answered.Josephine nodded. She agreed that it was unnecessary to go back there since the co
Seth shot the former the side eye like he was looking at an idiot.Daxtor felt offended at once. His face darkened to his usual sternness. "Why? Are you unwilling to accept your actual identity?"Seth replied, "I hear the Leigh family is in trouble. I don't want to join a sinking ship.""About that.
Daxtor stopped reminiscing and cut to the chase. "Your mother was my first love. I'm probably hers, too."The two had dated when they were in school. They had deep feelings for each other, but their social statuses were too different. Daxtor had tried retaliating against his family and convincing h
Seth came in secret. Some things were easier to do here than in their home country. Still, doing so came with some risks. He said, "You two can forget about having a peaceful life if I hadn't come here. How do you plan to repay me, Lewis?"Lewis responded, "You can go home. We don't need you here."
Lewis fell silent. "Not so soon."Josephine didn't understand. "Do you have any matters left to resolve? Or ..."Or did he want to stay here? It seemed like they didn't have a place to return to.They didn't have a house in Hardington. Apart from the villa in Styx Mansion, nothing else belonged to t
The sudden blast created a disturbance, making the image tremble as static sounds disrupted the audio.The next moment, the signal was interrupted, and the TV screen went black.Although the screen had turned dark, Josephine had keenly noticed that something had exploded in the court.Blood scattere
Josephine didn't have much to do these days. Lewis was rarely home. Alone, she felt bored. Avery didn't want to visit her either.Avery wasn't on good terms with Lewis. So she tried to avoid running into him.Josephine didn't know what Lewis was up to. Avery seemed to have no acquaintances here but
